WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.320 --> 00:00:03.759 You're listening to KFI AM six forty on demand. 2 00:00:04.919 --> 00:00:07.240 Hi there, Chris Merril. Pleasure being with you. 3 00:00:07.320 --> 00:00:10.400 And remember we're on demand anytime in the iHeartRadio app 4 00:00:10.400 --> 00:00:11.640 and when you're on that app, and go ahead and 5 00:00:11.679 --> 00:00:12.320 leave us a talk back. 6 00:00:12.439 --> 00:00:13.800 Let us know what you think about what's happening. 7 00:00:13.800 --> 00:00:15.839 And today it's been all about these protests that are 8 00:00:15.839 --> 00:00:19.760 going on downtown near the Federal building Alameda. We're the 9 00:00:19.839 --> 00:00:22.239 one on one Alameda right there if you're unfamiliar to 10 00:00:22.320 --> 00:00:25.399 near a Union station. So right the downtown, just a 11 00:00:25.440 --> 00:00:27.039 couple of blocks from City Hall, which is where there 12 00:00:27.120 --> 00:00:30.079 was another protest which later merged with that one. So 13 00:00:30.960 --> 00:00:32.920 your thoughts hit us up at the talk back. 14 00:00:33.759 --> 00:00:38.840 Hey, I was just driving past downtown Los Angeles and 15 00:00:38.880 --> 00:00:41.920 I saw the helicopters and all of that, and you 16 00:00:41.960 --> 00:00:45.719 can actually see the tear gas rising from in between 17 00:00:46.479 --> 00:00:50.640 the buildings. It looks crazy between that and the helicopters, 18 00:00:50.759 --> 00:00:53.280 you know, spinning around the town. I mean, it's just 19 00:00:53.840 --> 00:00:54.600 it's insane. 20 00:00:55.159 --> 00:00:56.840 It is insane. Yeah, I'll give you that. 21 00:00:57.119 --> 00:00:57.320 Yup. 22 00:00:58.240 --> 00:00:59.960 Thanks for the report. 23 00:01:00.039 --> 00:01:04.040 Know how you drove pass downtown though there's nothing downtown moving. 24 00:01:05.079 --> 00:01:05.480 It's a. 25 00:01:07.200 --> 00:01:09.640 It's a it's a mess. If you can avoid going 26 00:01:09.879 --> 00:01:12.200 to the entire downtown area. 27 00:01:11.719 --> 00:01:12.079 Do it. 28 00:01:12.560 --> 00:01:15.079 One of ones just shut right down. In fact, one 29 00:01:15.079 --> 00:01:17.680 of the ones you heard Lucy giving us a traffic update. 30 00:01:18.120 --> 00:01:21.200 One on one's pretty well closed. Between what the seven 31 00:01:21.280 --> 00:01:25.879 ten and and the one ten just I mean, or 32 00:01:25.879 --> 00:01:29.799 at least one on one. There's the whole thing is 33 00:01:29.799 --> 00:01:31.799 a mess. Look at the maps. This is the whole 34 00:01:31.840 --> 00:01:33.319 Thing's a mess. S everything's a mess. 35 00:01:34.239 --> 00:01:34.840 Just don't do it. 36 00:01:35.040 --> 00:01:36.280 Don't even drive anywhere today. 37 00:01:36.760 --> 00:01:39.959 Just stay home, pour yourself a nice Sunday cocktail, take 38 00:01:40.000 --> 00:01:42.359 an extra communion, stay out of the car. 39 00:01:43.560 --> 00:01:43.680 Hi. 40 00:01:44.000 --> 00:01:46.159 I believe that the National Guard being activated is a 41 00:01:46.200 --> 00:01:49.599 good thing because if it hadn't been done, Newsom and 42 00:01:49.680 --> 00:01:52.560 Bass would have allowed our police force to sit back 43 00:01:52.560 --> 00:01:55.000 and watch things happen so they could then say, oh, 44 00:01:55.000 --> 00:01:59.959 look what happened because of Trump. Now they are embarrassed 45 00:02:00.040 --> 00:02:03.280 into showing that they have the ability to maintain safety 46 00:02:03.319 --> 00:02:06.159 on the streets, which as we know previously, they never 47 00:02:06.239 --> 00:02:08.840 do and it ends up in rioting and looting. 48 00:02:09.120 --> 00:02:13.680 All right, you know one of the things too. In fact, 49 00:02:13.680 --> 00:02:14.560 it was it was interesting. 50 00:02:14.560 --> 00:02:18.360 I was reading about the the stuff yesterday in Paramount 51 00:02:19.039 --> 00:02:21.879 and Channel seven had this. They were talking about what 52 00:02:22.159 --> 00:02:25.520 led to the events where we are today despite the 53 00:02:25.599 --> 00:02:28.039 national picture of the protests were combined to confined to 54 00:02:28.080 --> 00:02:30.520 a very small area of a couple of blocks in 55 00:02:30.520 --> 00:02:33.439 Paramount and downtown LA, most of the cities operating as 56 00:02:33.479 --> 00:02:37.000 per normal with no signs of unrest, which which is true. 57 00:02:37.039 --> 00:02:39.680 I mean, for Pete's sake, we've been covering these protests there. 58 00:02:39.840 --> 00:02:45.159 They're downtown a couple of blocks, we got what ten 59 00:02:45.199 --> 00:02:50.120 million people and in the metro area eleven million people, 60 00:02:50.719 --> 00:02:52.479 And I mean were talking about a couple of thousands, 61 00:02:52.479 --> 00:02:54.520 So I mean, when you put things in perspective, not 62 00:02:54.560 --> 00:02:57.080 a lot, however, And I think it's also fair to 63 00:02:57.120 --> 00:02:59.400 say that most days we don't have any massive protests 64 00:02:59.439 --> 00:03:02.280 going on. We don't don't have any thousand people protesting 65 00:03:02.360 --> 00:03:05.319 or clashing with any guards. So it is it is 66 00:03:05.360 --> 00:03:08.039 out of the ordinary, to be sure. All Right, more 67 00:03:08.080 --> 00:03:09.560 from the talk back, and again, if you're on the 68 00:03:09.599 --> 00:03:12.639 iHeartRadio app, you just sad that little microphone button, let 69 00:03:12.719 --> 00:03:13.000 us know. 70 00:03:12.919 --> 00:03:13.319 What you think. 71 00:03:13.400 --> 00:03:15.759 There you go, Karen Bass and her presser. 72 00:03:16.680 --> 00:03:18.360 Yeah, kind of blame. 73 00:03:18.280 --> 00:03:23.280 Blaming the police, blaming Trump, blaming law enforcement did when 74 00:03:23.439 --> 00:03:26.960 it's all the agitators and the protesters, which is the problem. 75 00:03:27.120 --> 00:03:30.840 It's not law enforcement. But Karen Bass doesn't understand that. 76 00:03:30.879 --> 00:03:36.199 She wants to coddle to the immigrants and the illegal 77 00:03:36.240 --> 00:03:37.599 aliens and everybody else like that. 78 00:03:38.400 --> 00:03:39.960 Yeah, so you had me when you said that she 79 00:03:40.039 --> 00:03:43.000 was blaming the administration. She was blaming the presence of 80 00:03:43.039 --> 00:03:43.759 law enforcement. 81 00:03:44.560 --> 00:03:45.400 But to say that. 82 00:03:45.360 --> 00:03:52.000 Everything is all agitators, I mean, it's kind of like 83 00:03:52.599 --> 00:03:55.240 I got a little brother, right, and the more I 84 00:03:55.280 --> 00:03:57.159 tried to tell my little brother to knock it off, 85 00:03:57.840 --> 00:04:00.039 the more he would the more he got what he 86 00:04:00.080 --> 00:04:02.000 wanted out of me, right, Which is why my parents 87 00:04:02.000 --> 00:04:04.840 always said ignore him, he'll go away. Now, as you 88 00:04:04.840 --> 00:04:07.439 and I both know, if you ignore the agitators, they're 89 00:04:07.439 --> 00:04:09.159 really going to want to get your attention. They they 90 00:04:09.199 --> 00:04:12.680 may start doing some more nonsense and escalating things totally 91 00:04:12.680 --> 00:04:15.080 could happen. I'm not going to doubt that that absolutely 92 00:04:15.080 --> 00:04:17.279 could happen. We have seen it happen before. You're right, 93 00:04:19.560 --> 00:04:21.639 But I also know that the more heavy handed I 94 00:04:21.680 --> 00:04:24.120 got with my little brother, the more it made him 95 00:04:24.160 --> 00:04:26.600 want to lash out and be and start biting and 96 00:04:26.680 --> 00:04:32.040 kicking me. So this is that delicate balance. And incidentally, 97 00:04:32.079 --> 00:04:34.279 I know that this falls right now in party lines 98 00:04:34.279 --> 00:04:37.160 where you go, well, listen, you know the Republicans, they're 99 00:04:37.160 --> 00:04:40.199 calling for law and order, and they want the heavy 100 00:04:40.240 --> 00:04:43.120 hand of the law so that we can stop these agitators. 101 00:04:43.199 --> 00:04:46.439 And then you know January sixth, the few years back, 102 00:04:46.480 --> 00:04:48.639 and they go, oh, can you believe that those the 103 00:04:48.680 --> 00:04:50.519 heavy hand of the law was coming in and doing 104 00:04:50.560 --> 00:04:53.240 that to those people who are just peaceful tourists walking 105 00:04:53.279 --> 00:04:55.959 through the Capitol building? How dare they do such a thing. 106 00:04:56.079 --> 00:04:58.959 So we tend to vary our opinion on who's at 107 00:04:58.959 --> 00:05:01.240 fault based on which side. 108 00:05:00.959 --> 00:05:01.879 Of the argument we're on. 109 00:05:01.959 --> 00:05:06.120 That time around right when it's Ruby Ridge, we go, 110 00:05:06.240 --> 00:05:08.560 my god, can you believe the heavy hand of government? 111 00:05:08.600 --> 00:05:09.959 How dare they do such a thing? 112 00:05:10.079 --> 00:05:12.160 And then we have a time like this, we go, oh, 113 00:05:12.199 --> 00:05:13.920 my goodness, can you believe these agitators? 114 00:05:13.959 --> 00:05:15.319 The law enforcement's always right? 115 00:05:16.519 --> 00:05:18.000 So I think we always have to be careful about 116 00:05:18.000 --> 00:05:22.360 who's in charge and is there a better way to 117 00:05:22.399 --> 00:05:24.160 do things? Oftentimes I think we just kind of fall 118 00:05:24.199 --> 00:05:28.240 back to, uh, you know, might equals right, No, that's 119 00:05:28.279 --> 00:05:32.439 the case, But also, you know, burning your town down 120 00:05:32.560 --> 00:05:36.600 as we saw yesterday the protests that would lead into looting. 121 00:05:37.000 --> 00:05:40.160 The hell's out about I ain't doing any good either. 122 00:05:40.360 --> 00:05:43.480 Bass is speaking on TV about the protests right now. Yeah, 123 00:05:43.519 --> 00:05:45.240 you know, where the hell is the governor? He should 124 00:05:45.240 --> 00:05:47.959 be down here front and center. Newsom and Bass. They 125 00:05:48.000 --> 00:05:50.680 should put a damn scissor lift right across the one 126 00:05:50.720 --> 00:05:53.279 on one freeway where all the protests are taken, and 127 00:05:53.319 --> 00:05:57.279 they should get up there and speak directly to the protesters, 128 00:05:57.439 --> 00:05:59.439 and then we'll see what really happens. 129 00:05:59.439 --> 00:05:59.800 I'll bitch you. 130 00:05:59.879 --> 00:06:03.879 The protesters probably rock the scissor lift until it falls over. 131 00:06:04.199 --> 00:06:05.000 Noah, you might be right. 132 00:06:05.040 --> 00:06:08.160 And actually, to be honest, my friend, I thought the 133 00:06:08.199 --> 00:06:11.560 same thing. Where are they They should be on the scene. 134 00:06:12.680 --> 00:06:14.639 I agree with you on that one, one hundred percent. 135 00:06:14.959 --> 00:06:17.839 Did just see something funny the monitor in the studio here. 136 00:06:17.920 --> 00:06:19.000 It looks as. 137 00:06:18.920 --> 00:06:21.240 Though a number of people who wanted to go down there, 138 00:06:21.680 --> 00:06:22.600 and I don't know if they wanted to be a 139 00:06:22.639 --> 00:06:24.480 part of the protest or they just wanted to see 140 00:06:24.519 --> 00:06:27.720 what we witnessed. The protests that we're going on no idea, 141 00:06:27.720 --> 00:06:30.920 because we just we saw the crowds grow throughout the afternoon, 142 00:06:31.160 --> 00:06:35.360 but not necessarily participating in the protests themselves. In many 143 00:06:35.360 --> 00:06:38.480 cases they were watching from the overpasses and such. But 144 00:06:38.519 --> 00:06:40.199 it looks like a nawful lot of people thought, I'm 145 00:06:40.199 --> 00:06:42.839 going to take a Weaimo down there. So then the 146 00:06:42.879 --> 00:06:44.920 Weaimo goes down there, and you know, the Weymo's not 147 00:06:44.959 --> 00:06:46.519 going to drive over anybody. The weymos is just gonna 148 00:06:46.519 --> 00:06:48.319 stop until people get out of the way. And so 149 00:06:48.399 --> 00:06:50.920 what happened. It looks like people were then burning the 150 00:06:51.240 --> 00:06:55.160 self driving taxis and then spray painting all of the 151 00:06:55.160 --> 00:06:58.279 different weymos. This may be the most expensive day in 152 00:06:58.319 --> 00:07:01.879 Weimo history. Take a look at all the different Jaguars 153 00:07:01.920 --> 00:07:07.879 that have been completely messed up. Wonder if Wemo has 154 00:07:07.959 --> 00:07:15.279 Riot insurance. H I guess people just don't care if 155 00:07:15.279 --> 00:07:17.199 it's not their car, right, I'm gonna take a Waimo 156 00:07:17.319 --> 00:07:19.680 down there. I drive my own car down Wait, kidding, 157 00:07:19.680 --> 00:07:21.800 parking is probably a real pain. Yeah, I get it, 158 00:07:22.240 --> 00:07:25.279 you get it. I'm gonna take that Weimo. All right, 159 00:07:25.279 --> 00:07:27.720 more of your thoughts, your feedback in just a few moments. 160 00:07:27.759 --> 00:07:33.079 Always happy to have the conversation. Quite frankly, I love 161 00:07:33.120 --> 00:07:35.759 talking to you guys. You know I don't always agree, 162 00:07:35.759 --> 00:07:39.360 but I love the convo.

This is outrageous. First 191 00:09:07.960 --> 00:09:12.840 she allows this massive fire, which it was all negligence, 192 00:09:12.919 --> 00:09:17.279 and now she's encouraging this massive protest that could go 193 00:09:17.519 --> 00:09:19.840 extremely violent. It's stupid. 194 00:09:20.000 --> 00:09:23.039 It is stupid. And let me make this point too. 195 00:09:23.720 --> 00:09:26.000 I wholly agree with you. She should not have encouraged 196 00:09:26.039 --> 00:09:30.120 them to continue protesting. I mean she said, keep expressing 197 00:09:30.159 --> 00:09:33.039 your anger and your outrage, but do it peacefully. There 198 00:09:33.080 --> 00:09:35.519 was a time, if you'll remember January sixth, that there 199 00:09:35.639 --> 00:09:38.960 was an outcry that Trump wasn't taking action and telling 200 00:09:38.960 --> 00:09:42.399 the protesters to go home. Remember they were like, why 201 00:09:42.480 --> 00:09:44.360 is he not making a statement, Why is he not 202 00:09:44.399 --> 00:09:46.159 going on Twitter and telling them to knock it off 203 00:09:46.159 --> 00:09:49.519 and go home? Why is he not doing that? And 204 00:09:49.559 --> 00:09:52.399 now you've got Karen Bass, who's got a situation where 205 00:09:52.440 --> 00:09:55.840 you've got protesters who are lining the streets, and she's saying, 206 00:09:56.639 --> 00:09:57.840 keep expressing. 207 00:09:57.360 --> 00:09:59.399 Your anger and your outrage, but just do it peacefully. 208 00:10:00.000 --> 00:10:00.240 No no, no, no. 209 00:10:00.559 --> 00:10:03.039 You don't get it both ways. You don't get it 210 00:10:03.039 --> 00:10:08.120 both ways. But likewise, remember you don't get it both ways. 211 00:10:08.200 --> 00:10:09.320 So if you're somebody who goes. 212 00:10:09.240 --> 00:10:10.919 So well, Trump did the right thing by not telling 213 00:10:11.000 --> 00:10:13.000 them to go home. No no no, no no no no no. 214 00:10:14.080 --> 00:10:17.639 I agree with you. Bass should be telling people, let's 215 00:10:17.639 --> 00:10:19.639 wrap it up. Let's wrap it up for the night. 216 00:10:20.200 --> 00:10:23.039 Everybody go home, Let's have a safe evening. None of 217 00:10:23.039 --> 00:10:28.600 this stuff. You know, protesting is your your your your right, 218 00:10:28.679 --> 00:10:31.480 so your First Amendment right, it is protected. But let's 219 00:10:31.480 --> 00:10:34.159 be smart and let's wrap it up for today. One 220 00:10:34.240 --> 00:10:37.240 hundred percent agree with you. But if you were making 221 00:10:37.279 --> 00:10:41.639 excuses for Trump, then why are you disagreeing with Bass now? 222 00:10:42.279 --> 00:10:46.240 And if you were condemning Trump, then why would you 223 00:10:46.279 --> 00:10:51.480 be excusing Bass now. I condemned Trump for January sixth 224 00:10:51.480 --> 00:10:54.000 and not taking more action at the time, I'm condemning 225 00:10:54.039 --> 00:10:58.679 Bass for not doing more today. Right, That's called logical consistency. 226 00:10:59.080 --> 00:11:02.759 We're lacking that with a politicians. It's kind of sad. 227 00:11:03.240 --> 00:11:06.039 It makes my brain hurt just a little bit. Uh, 228 00:11:06.080 --> 00:11:08.200 you guys are fantastic of more of your talkbacks. I 229 00:11:08.200 --> 00:11:13.720 want to cover those in. 230 00:11:11.639 --> 00:11:12.840 In the next segment as well. 231 00:11:14.159 --> 00:11:16.919 Just looking at everything else that's going on here, I 232 00:11:16.919 --> 00:11:20.240 had I had an entire program schedule today and then 233 00:11:20.240 --> 00:11:24.519 people got wacky. Honest to god, the whole thing was 234 00:11:24.559 --> 00:11:26.360 like the whole show. Cale can tell you she's got 235 00:11:26.399 --> 00:11:30.480 access to my show Rundown. I had the most I 236 00:11:30.480 --> 00:11:33.200 had the most beautiful show, probably the best show anyone's 237 00:11:33.240 --> 00:11:35.200 ever heard. Many Penny people are saying, we're just gonna 238 00:11:35.200 --> 00:11:38.840 be the best show, and then it just got got 239 00:11:38.879 --> 00:11:41.519 trashed because of h the Shenanigans Downtown. 240 00:11:41.639 --> 00:11:43.320 You did plan an amazing show. 241 00:11:44.039 --> 00:11:45.039 It was going to be it was going to be 242 00:11:45.080 --> 00:11:47.519 a really fun I mean, it is still an informative 243 00:11:47.559 --> 00:11:51.240 Sunday in educational Sunday, but the fun just isn't there 244 00:11:51.320 --> 00:11:52.559 the one that you had planned. 245 00:11:52.600 --> 00:11:54.879 So yeah, that's unfortunate. 246 00:11:55.519 --> 00:11:57.919 It is unfortunate. You're right. 247 00:11:58.440 --> 00:12:00.919 I feel like, uh, I feel like the people have deprived. 248 00:12:01.879 --> 00:12:03.360 Have you seen did you see the photos of these 249 00:12:03.360 --> 00:12:05.200 weymos the caught fire? 250 00:12:05.440 --> 00:12:07.000 No? I didn't know waymos were catching fire? 251 00:12:07.080 --> 00:12:09.919 Yeah, yeah, yeah, there's like five of them, uh, and 252 00:12:09.919 --> 00:12:11.240 they're on one of the surface streets. 253 00:12:11.240 --> 00:12:12.320 I can't tell which one. 254 00:12:14.159 --> 00:12:18.480 There's five waymos that I'm assuming people took them downtown 255 00:12:18.559 --> 00:12:20.080 because they wanted to be a part of the protest 256 00:12:20.200 --> 00:12:21.799 or they wanted to see what was going on. And 257 00:12:21.879 --> 00:12:24.559 then the waymos are just basically stopped because you know, 258 00:12:24.600 --> 00:12:26.200 they don't drive over people. So all you have to 259 00:12:26.200 --> 00:12:27.720 do to stop a weymos get in front of it. 260 00:12:27.840 --> 00:12:30.159 So somebody surrounds a waymo and that it just it freezes. 261 00:12:30.960 --> 00:12:32.840 And then I think it when I'm guessing that it 262 00:12:32.919 --> 00:12:35.679 like locked up, you know, with the security locks, and 263 00:12:35.679 --> 00:12:37.679 then people just started breaking the windows and they started 264 00:12:37.919 --> 00:12:39.879 writing graffiti all over the weimos. 265 00:12:40.879 --> 00:12:42.919 Jeez, Lucy, can you see these things? Have you seen this? 266 00:12:43.519 --> 00:12:45.480 I can, yes, five of them, and one of them 267 00:12:45.559 --> 00:12:48.279 is on fire. And what about the battery in that weymo? 268 00:12:48.559 --> 00:12:49.600 But it's not dangerous? 269 00:12:50.080 --> 00:12:54.000 Yes, okay, So I did a modicum of research on this, 270 00:12:54.720 --> 00:12:57.759 and there's one vehicle, one of these weaymos is completely 271 00:12:57.799 --> 00:12:59.440 there was a little explosion right there. One of these 272 00:12:59.519 --> 00:13:03.639 vehicles is completely engulfed in flames. It is burning hot. 273 00:13:03.679 --> 00:13:05.960 I mean, you can actually see it is hot. If 274 00:13:06.000 --> 00:13:08.639 you are anywhere near downtown and you see black smoke 275 00:13:08.720 --> 00:13:10.960 in the air that's coming off of this car. Now, 276 00:13:11.200 --> 00:13:13.600 I don't believe the battery is putting out the black smoke. 277 00:13:13.639 --> 00:13:16.399 I think the black smoke is coming from the upholstery 278 00:13:16.480 --> 00:13:19.039 or the dash or some sort of a petroleum based 279 00:13:19.200 --> 00:13:21.200 uh you know product inside. 280 00:13:21.600 --> 00:13:22.559 But you are right. 281 00:13:22.639 --> 00:13:25.600 When it hits that battery, these things are almost impossible 282 00:13:25.600 --> 00:13:26.799 to put out. And how are they gonna get a 283 00:13:26.799 --> 00:13:28.480 fire truck down there when the people are blocking the. 284 00:13:28.399 --> 00:13:31.799 Streets exactly and it looks like they're trying to set 285 00:13:31.879 --> 00:13:33.279 upon another one as well. 286 00:13:33.919 --> 00:13:35.919 Yeah, because they broke the back windows out of all 287 00:13:35.919 --> 00:13:39.720 of them. They keep throwing they keep throwing incendiary devices in. 288 00:13:39.679 --> 00:13:44.879 There, right Google, It takes some hours. It takes emergency 289 00:13:44.919 --> 00:13:49.240 cruise hours to clear lithian ion batteries. Yes, you know, 290 00:13:49.440 --> 00:13:51.240 it really does. It's a real problem. 291 00:13:51.279 --> 00:13:54.720 That So I was worried about explosion and this again 292 00:13:54.759 --> 00:13:56.320 with some of my resent Oh that is the most 293 00:13:56.440 --> 00:13:58.600 la thing ever. There's a guy breaking the window and 294 00:13:58.679 --> 00:14:02.440 vandalizing it with escape. Okay, that is that is Los 295 00:14:02.480 --> 00:14:05.600 Angeles right there. That is just in a nutshell. So 296 00:14:07.279 --> 00:14:10.279 I thought, oh my goodness, don't these things explode? And 297 00:14:10.399 --> 00:14:13.840 the answer is probably not. Uh, there is a slight 298 00:14:13.919 --> 00:14:16.399 chance of explosion, but that usually happens in enclosed spaces 299 00:14:16.480 --> 00:14:18.840 or underground garages, like in a garage or an underground 300 00:14:18.840 --> 00:14:22.519 parking area where the vapors can't escape. But as far 301 00:14:22.559 --> 00:14:25.399 as actual explosions go, probably not going to explode, but 302 00:14:25.399 --> 00:14:26.480 they're not gonna be able to come in here and 303 00:14:26.480 --> 00:14:28.679 put it out with water. Oh now, skateboard dude is 304 00:14:28.679 --> 00:14:32.639 on top of the weimo and he's waking that piece 305 00:14:32.679 --> 00:14:35.840 off the top. Okay, you know how the weimo has 306 00:14:35.879 --> 00:14:38.159 the I don't know, like a radar on top that 307 00:14:38.279 --> 00:14:43.000 just spins around. So he just he broke that, and well, 308 00:14:43.000 --> 00:14:44.840 good now you've done that, Thank goodness. 309 00:14:47.320 --> 00:14:50.120 But this speaks to like other protests, you know, the 310 00:14:50.320 --> 00:14:54.519 other other feelings that people have about technology. This is 311 00:14:54.559 --> 00:14:56.399 about something else. That's a nice try, Lucia, I'm not 312 00:14:56.399 --> 00:14:57.720 buying vandalism. 313 00:14:58.200 --> 00:14:59.559 This is sheer vandalism. 314 00:14:59.759 --> 00:15:00.200 Yeah. 315 00:15:00.320 --> 00:15:02.519 I don't think these people are protesting because they they're 316 00:15:02.559 --> 00:15:05.120 upset about technology. This isn't someone that goes, hey, I 317 00:15:05.240 --> 00:15:09.639 stealing my job, right, No, this is just people wanting 318 00:15:09.639 --> 00:15:10.519 to be hoodlums. 319 00:15:11.080 --> 00:15:12.120 That's all this is right. 320 00:15:12.440 --> 00:15:15.960 Oh, there was an explosion. Something just exploded coming out 321 00:15:16.000 --> 00:15:20.559 of the one that's fully engulfed. Yeah yeah, all. 322 00:15:20.519 --> 00:15:24.039 Right, well maybe it'll explode on the skateboard guy. 323 00:15:25.279 --> 00:15:28.440 Well he walks away. He's out of the shop now. 324 00:15:28.879 --> 00:15:32.080 Oh okay, Yeah, he's done his damage and now he's like, 325 00:15:32.200 --> 00:15:33.120 bye bye everyone. 326 00:15:33.360 --> 00:15:35.279 I gotta get to the skate park.

This tweet from the FBI? I think 343 00:16:19.279 --> 00:16:22.039 it is, yes, for no reason not to right. FBI 344 00:16:22.080 --> 00:16:24.360 seeking information about a man who assaulted a federal officer 345 00:16:24.360 --> 00:16:26.919 and caused damage to government property in Los Angeles this weekend. 346 00:16:26.919 --> 00:16:30.279 A reward of up to fifty thousand dollars offered for 347 00:16:30.320 --> 00:16:34.879 information leading to his identification, arrest, and conviction. This dude 348 00:16:34.960 --> 00:16:39.240 from Paramount, from the Paramount protest and he was wearing 349 00:16:39.240 --> 00:16:41.080 a I mean, he's wearing a baseball jersey. They had 350 00:16:41.120 --> 00:16:43.639 to be able to track that guy down, right. Just 351 00:16:43.720 --> 00:16:46.039 go to the ballpark on Sunday and see who the 352 00:16:46.120 --> 00:16:48.200 drunk guy is wearing that baseball jersey. 353 00:16:48.360 --> 00:16:50.679 That's your guy, all right. 354 00:16:50.720 --> 00:16:54.559 The FBI Los Angeles Twitter page has got all the 355 00:16:54.559 --> 00:16:55.519 information on it. 356 00:16:55.639 --> 00:16:59.080 Just FYI on that. What a wild day. 357 00:17:00.080 --> 00:17:03.759 Continue to see the smoke rising from downtown. That smoke 358 00:17:04.000 --> 00:17:07.200 is coming from that waymo, that the protesters lit on fire. 359 00:17:07.759 --> 00:17:12.680 As now we've just gone from a protest skirmishes into 360 00:17:12.759 --> 00:17:17.440 straight up vandalism and oh two waymos, it looks like 361 00:17:17.480 --> 00:17:19.119 I were on fire. Now they got another way to 362 00:17:19.160 --> 00:17:25.279 start burning. So let ago vandals three three now burnout. 363 00:17:25.279 --> 00:17:27.519 I guess see, I make out three of the weymos 364 00:17:27.519 --> 00:17:31.680 now burning. Why because vandal's going to vandle That's why 365 00:17:32.759 --> 00:17:36.559 no rhyme nor reason to it is just simply chaos 366 00:17:37.680 --> 00:17:38.559 from the talkbacks. 367 00:17:38.640 --> 00:17:41.720 I love it when you guys leave messages, whether I 368 00:17:41.759 --> 00:17:44.640 agree or disagree, Love it, love it, love it. 369 00:17:44.720 --> 00:17:48.960 My biggest concern is the protesters are playing into the 370 00:17:49.039 --> 00:17:55.680 Trump maga hands. How so nothing would make them happier 371 00:17:56.680 --> 00:18:00.279 than to find a reason to shoot a few of 372 00:18:00.359 --> 00:18:06.480 the protesters. Kent State wasn't that long ago. 373 00:18:07.400 --> 00:18:11.240 Yeah, politically speaking, that would be bad. Kent State didn't 374 00:18:11.240 --> 00:18:14.319 go over very well for the the look of the government. 375 00:18:14.440 --> 00:18:17.039 All right, continue on here more thoughts. 376 00:18:17.279 --> 00:18:21.440 When have Newsom and Bass ever been celebrated for the 377 00:18:21.440 --> 00:18:24.279 way they've handled the crisis? I mean, going back to 378 00:18:24.440 --> 00:18:28.640 COVID and Newsom's bumbling and stumbling with regard to every 379 00:18:28.720 --> 00:18:33.640 aspect of the way he's handled it. Bass I mean, in. 380 00:18:33.599 --> 00:18:37.359 Fairness, though, just to be contrarian for the sake of conversation, 381 00:18:38.240 --> 00:18:42.839 when have we ever praised a leader for the crisis? 382 00:18:44.039 --> 00:18:46.359 I mean, usually a crisis hits and the leader is 383 00:18:46.680 --> 00:18:49.240 eventually blamed for mishandling it in some way. 384 00:18:49.039 --> 00:18:50.359 Shape or form. 385 00:18:50.440 --> 00:18:52.680 Well meaning, but you're right about Bass and COVID. No 386 00:18:52.720 --> 00:18:55.160 excuse me, a Newsome in COVID, the French laundry, that 387 00:18:55.160 --> 00:18:56.920 whole mess. You're one hundred percent correct. 388 00:18:57.279 --> 00:18:59.720 She seemed well meaning when she came into office, but 389 00:19:01.160 --> 00:19:06.119 incredibly naive. Now she's neither. She's inept and incompetent. These 390 00:19:06.440 --> 00:19:08.920 are horrible leaders. 391 00:19:09.440 --> 00:19:09.920 And I agree. 392 00:19:09.960 --> 00:19:13.680 We had a guy called earlier that said, why wasn't 393 00:19:13.680 --> 00:19:16.440 she there? Her and Newsom should have been downtown on 394 00:19:16.440 --> 00:19:18.160 scissor List telling people knock it off. 395 00:19:18.759 --> 00:19:19.680 I kind of agree with that. 396 00:19:19.720 --> 00:19:22.319 Hey, Chris, love the show. It's always informative and entertaining. 397 00:19:22.359 --> 00:19:24.440 You know a lot of people voted for this, They 398 00:19:24.519 --> 00:19:27.119 voted for this chaos, and you know they got what 399 00:19:27.119 --> 00:19:29.279 they voted for. You know a lot of people thought 400 00:19:29.279 --> 00:19:31.599 that they were just going to go after criminals, and 401 00:19:31.759 --> 00:19:34.680
